Understanding NFL Betting Lines and Super Bowl Odds

Let's take a look at some common NFL betting terms that you are likely to come across when betting on the Super Bowl. Some of these terms can be confusing for UK punters, but are simply the terms used in the USA, for quite straightforward betting markets that we're all familiar with.

• Super Bowl Betting Line - The line or 'moneyline' is the US gambling industry term for a match result. You are betting on which team will win the Super Bowl.
• NFL Spread - In the UK, the term 'spread' can make us think of spread betting. An NFL spread actually refers to what we'd describe as the handicap. The Super Bowl favourites are available to bet on with a points handicap, while the outsiders can be bet on with a points advantage.
• Super Bowl Total Points - What will be the total amount of points scored from both teams in the Super Bowl. You be on whether it will be over a certain stated points total, or under that level.
• NFL Quarter Betting - Bet on markets limited to a certain quarter of the Super Bowl. So you can bet on which team will win the quarter, with and without a handicap. Or the total points scored in a quarter, or if there will be a touchdown in the quarter.
• Super Bowl Half Betting - There are also Super Bowl betting markets limited to the first or second half of the game.

Your may wonder how the Super Bowl favourites are determined. If we look at the Super Bowl betting line as an example, there are a number of factors that determine which team are favourites and which are the underdogs.

An NFL bet line will take into account the form of the respective teams and the recent results that got them to the Super Bowl. It will also be influenced by past results and trends. Then there is an influence from bettors themselves. If a large majority of the money being bet on the Super Bowl bet line is being placed on one particular team, then it is likely that their price will drop and their opponents odds' will rise.
